Accused rapist charged with three more sex attacks

A man accused of raping a teenager at a Sydney train station last month has now been charged with a further three sexual assaults over the last four years.

The 58-year-old faced court last week over the alleged sexual assault of a drunk 18-year-old man who had fallen asleep at Central Railway Station.

He was granted bail but is now back in custody after being charged with three more sexual assaults.

Police from the Sex Crimes Squad have been investigating similar attacks under Strike Force Merinda.

They say forensic evidence links the latest attack to the sexual assault of a 21-year-old man near Liverpool in 2009, a 23-year-old Swedish man at Broadway in 2010 and an 18-year-old British man in the CBD in 2011.
